Brooklyn Bridge Park (DUMBO waterfront)

ParkLocals' pick

1.3 miles of rebuilt piers under the Brooklyn Bridge with the best ground-level view of Lower Manhattan. In the DUMBO section, Jane's Carousel, a 1922 Philadelphia Toboggan Company carousel, turns in a glass pavilion right under the bridge; locals use the piers for basketball, picnics and the free summer Movies With a View.
